Company Description
We are a leading provider of mission-critical network signaling
software for wireless, wireline and Internet communication services. Our
Signalware call control products interconnect the complex switching, database
and messaging systems and manage the vital number, routing and billing
information that form the backbone of today's communication networks. These
products incorporate "Signaling System #7", or "SS7", a widely used set of
signaling standards and protocols for communication networks worldwide.
Signalware enables communication service providers to offer "Intelligent
Network" services, such as voice-activated dialing, prepaid calling, caller ID
and text messaging. These products also enable voice and data networks to
interoperate, or converge, allowing service providers to offer such "converged
network" services as voice over the Internet and Internet call waiting. Our new
Nexworx product line is designed to move service control into the hands of
subscribers, so that businesses or consumers can access network resources to
create, manage and personalize their communication services.
Demand for enhanced voice and data communication services has grown
rapidly over recent years due to the emergence of the Internet, the growth in
wireless subscribers, and the proliferation of competitive service providers.
Network equipment manufacturers, application developers and service providers
increasingly require enabling products that allow the rapid development and
delivery of these enhanced services. Our products offer the following key
benefits:
Accelerated Time to Market. We believe our comprehensive solutions
allow customers to deploy services more rapidly than internally developed or
third party alternatives. In addition, our products allow our customers to
concentrate their efforts on application development, significantly reducing the
time it takes for them to bring communication services to market.
Network and Platform Interoperability. Our products are designed for
deployment on disparate network environments and multiple computer platforms.
Signaling networks around the world vary based on different country standards
and infrastructures. Our products overcome these differences and provide our
customers with the ability to create applications that are marketable around the
world. Our products also provide our customers with the flexibility to develop
applications on one computing platform and then migrate to another as market
demands or industry standards change.
High Performance and Reliability. Service providers consider it
critical that their networks provide high quality, uninterrupted service. As a
result, they will only purchase solutions that are stable, fast and scalable.
Our products meet this need to provide "mission-critical" performance and
reliability.
We have over 40 customers throughout North America, Europe and the
Pacific Rim and our products are deployed globally by major service providers in
more than 50 countries. Our products are used by equipment manufacturers,
application developers and service providers, including communication industry
leaders such as Alcatel, Compaq, Comverse Network Systems, Ericsson, Level (3)
Communications, Lucent, MCI WorldCom, Nokia, Qualcomm, Siemens and Sun
Microsystems. In addition, as a founding member of The Parlay Group and the JAIN
initiative, two industry consortia, we are at the forefront of defining industry
standards that we believe are critical to foster continued growth for us and our
industry.
We are a subsidiary of Comverse Technology, Inc. Our company was
incorporated in New Jersey on December 18, 1974 as "Dale Gesek, McWilliams &
Sheridan, Inc.," and we were formerly known as "DGM&S Telecom, Inc." In May 1999
we changed our name to "Ulticom, Inc."
